Sybex just released a new one but their first book for security+ was poor, very poor according to reviews so wait and see if the new version will improve . Have you looked at syngress' book? i heard thats the best....

i have always felt that sybex books lack depth, when it comes to anything mcp (270) or A+, dont know much about security + though. If there is a mike meyers one then i think that would be pretty helpful

one more query, does A+,Network+ and security+ count towards elective for mcsa?

Yes it does, click here for more info. You either need the combi of the A+ & Network+ or just the sec+.

I agree, the syngress books are very good, imo for both MS & Comptia exam. Another book you may also want to get is the ExamCram2 Q & A's for Security+ (to be used in conjunction with the other book). I've found that Examcram books are good with comptia exams but not MS exams.

The first book, I haven't heard of, but there is a symbol saying learnkey. I do like using learnkey material, but I have to say the interactive CD's, I've never used the book.

The second link shows the Passport book. To tell the truth, I don't find MM's Passport book that great. Don't get me wrong, I use them once in a blue moon, but I wouldn't go out of my way to find and hunt one down.
